This was a remix, or rather a re-do of the song that was on a previous CD. The request was for a traditional country song, like Waylon Jennings might do. The song is about a couple that is just plain bad for each other, told in a string of similes and metaphors.
From the CD “Derail.“

“Troubadour? Singer-songwriter? Artist? Hell, I’m just a storyteller with a four-minute attention span and nervous hands!”
Matt calls himself “dark story-teller alt-folk with a smile.” Most of his songs come from dreams, experiences and observations. A song may not be about him, but there is a strong personal element in there somewhere – his views, his ambitions or his morality.
“I write from a mature perspective, but still playful at times. I write what is on my mind. I am out to entertain, and I would be broken-hearted if my music offended someone. I may at times write about drugs, alcohol, and the darker side of life, but I will never celebrate it.”
Matt’s first CD, “Drive-In Sky” is a musical collection of his song-stories, some true some fiction. His second CD, “Half Lucky,” was released in 2014, and indulges his rock side a little more. His third, “Seven Grackles” returns to a more folk/singer-songwriter tradition. The fourth CD is a collection of light and hopeful songs, with a simple treatment – mostly acoustic guitar and voice. It is called “vs. light.” His fifth CD is a companion CD to “vs. light,” and is called “dark vs.” It uses the same simple recording treatment to present a collection of darker songs – stalkers, murder, suicide, disappointment and various mayhem. "Derail" is a collection of outtakes, re-dos, demos and oddities.
Matt has published two books of his quick stories and observations, “Texas Takes: Unfocused Ramblings About Becoming a Texan,” and “No Vampires, No Zombies: A Bunch of Stories About Nearly Everything Else!”
Matt lives in Tucson, Arizona, writes and records his own music, and performs when he is asked.
